Perhaps it Is yet eonewhat early to say very much about the agricultural fairs of the season, but the following paragraph, clipped from an old ox- change, reminds ua that the Weeks are sliding oa rapidly, and the time will soon be here, and that It is not too <>ar]y to begin to think how we can improve the fair, and Make it more helpful to the Interests of tlie farm aud the household: *'If a ma t thinks he will get no ben­ efit from attending the fair, and re­ gards It simply as au opportunity to i{o and see a horse-trot, or to speud a half d >llar in nickel cigars, or "blow in" a few quarters or dollars to enrlcB the proprietor of wheels of fortune he had better put his hand in his pocket and contribute a dollar or two to the fair fund, in the form of ft sub scriptlon, and stay away. If, en the other hand, he proposes to visit the fair, with as mauy of his family as can be spared, for the purpose of keeping his ejr'S sud ears wide open, and learn­ ing all he can by observation of the exhibits, and conversing with his neighbors who may be better inform­ ed on some subjects than he Is; for the purpose *f affording his wife and family a holiday, a day's recreation whore she and they £an ibet neighbor and friends rrem a distance, and have a good social time% and at the _ same time gain useful Information by wit­ nessing a collection of good stock, uuch better than they have at heme, and various Improvements in other department »f farm work, then by all means, let hi JI make hie plans now --not only to attend the fair but add to Its exhibits something worthy, of notiee."

J, C. Bigelow, and singing by a selected choir. Th* singing by the male ohoru* was a new feature and is deserving of special mention, because of Its excellence, both in selection and rendition. Decoration Day witnessed a great gathering of people in our village. I'hey came from every direction to assist lu solemnizing the occasion- The G. A. R's, Sous of Veterans, Mod­ ern Woodmen, and Select Knights, together with our Drum Corps and Brass Band, made a very creditable appearance upon the- line of march. After the decorating of the soldiers graves, which was solemn a id impres­ sive from tbe first to the last, the line or march was taken to the Park, where addresses were made by Rev. William Underwood, an old 15th Illinois boy. aow living in Kansas, and Judge O. H. Gillmore, of Woodstock, They need no encomium at our hands. Music by the Band and siuging was freely Inter­ spersed. Then the ^reat company went their way, feelirg that their country was dearer to them because ol ihe sacrifice made to maintain It. The Modern Woodmen of Northern Illinois have their fourth auunal picnic at Genoa, June 21sL These gatherings tre looked forward to by the Neigh­ bors as general gala days, as a good time is always assured and In the annual increase in the attendance they see tbe prosperity ef their noble order, wtilch is a source of pride to every loyal Woodman. I'he commencement exercises ef the Marengo High School takes place Thursday *venlrtg, June 7th, at tbe Opera House. There are fifteen graduates this year and an extended programme will necessarily be ren­ dered. We learn that the Junior Class will dispense with the nsual reception to the Senior Class this year, and if this be so, it is surely a commendable step, because hitherto, and more especially the last two yean, consid­ erable hard feelings were engendered, besides the receptions were made very expensive, against the deelre of the classes tendering them. •. X, Qnshsa In lbs Soutb. Atlanta Constitution: Jujge Gresltam is one of the most reputable Republi­ cans in tbe country. He Is not in active politics, he is not much of a partisan when It oooses to the bloedy shirt business, In short, he appears to be the one man who can win the sup­ port of all tbe Republican factions. He is probably not a great man; but Lincoln was not a great man until after he become President. He ie net known as a statesman, nor as a party leader, but he is available; and at this stage ot the game availability rises to dignity of a qualification. He has not only not sought the nomination, but be has expressed great oontempt for any judicial officer wbe would seek It; he was a soldier and a hard fighter, and his tariff ?iews are moderate. In short, his career commends him to the great mass of Republicans, aud if be is nominated he will give the Democrats a har J fight. We trust the nominee will be brother Blaine rather than Judge Gresbam for variouft- ^eft- sons. A.y Hebron Department LODGE DIRECTORY. MASOWO.--K. F. ani A.
